Precision in encapsulation: Fontijne Presses’ transfer molding press dedicated to EMMI spiral flow testing according to ASTM D3123
As electrification and connectivity sweep through industries—from automotive and mobility to medical and consumer electronics—the demand for reliability under tough environmental conditions grows. Whether it’s moisture, dust, chemicals, or extreme temperatures, sensitive components like PCBs and sensors need a protective shield. That’s where encapsulation comes into play. Encapsulation explained Encapsulation is a process in which one material […]
Enhancing thermoplastic composite testing with the Fontijne Presses LabManual 300
As a leading manufacturer of fiber materials and thermoplastic prepregs, Bambooder faced significant challenges in producing consistent, high-quality composite plates for mechanical testing. The need to provide customers with accurate data on material performance and precise processing parameters was constrained by limited in-house capabilities. When introducing a new thermoplastic composite (TPC) resin, Bambooder often relied on complex […]
Testing methods for recycled thermoplastics
Consistent batch to batch quality is the absolute key to the successful use of recycled thermoplastics. Through targeted raw material selection, technological know-how and the most elaborate process and quality monitoring, it is possible to achieve batch consistency at the level of virgin material. Process and quality monitoring is the area where laboratory platen presses […]
Curing of biobased resins using Fontijne Presses’ LabManual 50 press
According to the Paris agreement, the CO2 level should be reduced in 2050 to the level of 1990. Therefore, the aim of the Dutch government is to be 100% circular by 2050. Over the last decades, several solutions have been developed to replace fossil fuels as energy source by renewable alternatives like wind and solar energy. The next […]

Pressing glass with the Fontijne Presses laboratory press
The challenge consisted of bonding PVB (PolyVinyl Butyral) interlayer film between 2 panels of glass. Laminated glass is a type of safety glass that holds together when shattered and that is commonly used in applications that require strong binding, toughness, and optical clarity for example in the automotive and architectural fields. The bonding process takes place under high heat and pressure conditions.
Recycling of textiles with the Fontijne Presses lab press
Unlike other waste streams, such as household electrical appliances, textile waste, and more specifically discarded clothing, is not subject to a set of regulations that producers must adhere to regarding the collection and disposal of discarded products.
In this process Fontijne Presses can fulfill an important role… To read more about it, please download our new Application Note explaining the contribution of our presses in recycling fabrics.
